Greenville, S.C. – Sophomore Jenny Jacobson scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season as Furman played to a 1-1 draw versus Tennessee Tech on Senior Day Sunday afternoon at Stone Soccer Stadium.
 
Jacobson put the Paladins in front just 31 seconds before the halftime whistle when she floated a ball towards goal from the right wing that slipped through the hands of the goalkeeper. Tennessee Tech equalized in the 57^th minute from the penalty spot. Neve Renwick was pushed down in the box to earn the spot kick and finished her chance at 56:52 for her sixth goal of the season.
 
The Paladins push ed forward in the final 15 minutes, but dangerous chances for Norah Roller and Nieva Gaither failed to find the back of the net. Reese DeJong, who replaced Addison Corn in net at the half, notched two saves to preserve the tie for Furman.
 
"It was disappointing to give away a penalty after we had the lead going into half," said Paladin head coach Andrew Burr. "We worked hard to get the lead back but need to do a better job of putting away the chances when they come late in the game. It was a great day to celebrate our seniors, and we are very appreciative of what they continue to contribute to our program and the support we get from their families."
 
Furman finished with a 17-12 advantage in total shots and 5-3 edge in shots on goal. The Paladins earned nine corner kicks to just one for the Golden Eagles. Tennessee Tech's Maggie Conrad posted four saves to help the Golden Eagles (0-6-4) secure the draw.
 
The Paladins (4-4-1), unbeaten in their last four matches, open Southern Conference play on Thursday night when they travel to Macon, Ga., to face the Mercer Bears.
